A Beautiful Park Coming Soon

Why A Park

Our Neighborhood Lacks Green Space:

Our Chelsea neighborhood has too few parks. Out of Manhattan’s 12 districts, CD3 ranks last for parks within a quarter-mile of residents and open space as a % of district square footage. The last new interior playground built in Chelsea was over 40 years ago, despite a massive increase in residential density since.

We Have Just the Location for a Park:

Friends of 20th Street Park is working to redevelop a vacant City lot on W 20th St, between 6th and 7th Ave, into a 10,000-sq-ft pocket park. History: In the late 1800’s – early 1900’s, 140 W. 20th Street was actually the site of a local NYC Public School,, P.S. 55. Help bring this green space full circle and provide vital recreational space for Chelsea’s neighborhood children once again!
